Principle 2: The individual test qualities cannot be evaluated indepenently, but must be evaluated in terms of their combined effect on the overall usefulness of the test
Principle 3: Test usefullness an the appropriate balance among the different qualities cannot be prescribed in general, but msut be determined for each specific testing situation. - 5hencein order to be useful, any language test must be developed with a specific purpose, a particular group of test takerss and a specific language use domain (ie situation or context) in which the test taker will be using the language outside of the test itself (in mind).
